I'm trying to install LXD on my Ubuntu via this tutorial https://docs.conjure-up.io/devel/en/user-manual#users-of-lxd in it says I have to follow these steps:
sudo snap install lxd (no problem in installing)/snap/bin/lxd init (I get the below error)Error: Failed to connect to local LXD: Get http://unix.socket/1.0: dial unix /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/unix.socket: connect: permission denied
can anyone tell me how to fix it?
Looks like for some reason the permissions on the unix.socket are not correct. (I tried this myself and works fine). The permission on my unix.socket look like this:
srw-rw---- 1 root lxd 0 Nov 7 18:02 unix.socket
I would try:
sudo chown root:lxd /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/unix.socket
sudo chmod 664 /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/unix.socket
sudo chmod u+s /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/unix.socket
If not then it could be an issue with your /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/ directory. Does it even exist?
